Opportunity Information: Apply for BJS 2017 11501
The FY 2017 BJS Faculty Research Fellowship Program in Criminal Justice Statistics (Funding Opportunity Number BJS 2017 11501) is a discretionary Department of Justice funding opportunity run by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning BJS expects to have an active role in the project alongside the recipient rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The opportunity was created on January 10, 2017, with an original application deadline of March 2, 2017. BJS anticipated making a single award, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $200,000, under CFDA 16.734, which is the federal program listing associated with BJS statistical and information efforts.
The core purpose of the solicitation is not to fund individual faculty directly, but to fund a professional or scholarly society that will administer a BJS-sponsored Faculty Research Fellowship Program. In practical terms, BJS was looking for an organization with the credibility, infrastructure, and reach to recruit applicants, run a fair selection process, manage awards, and oversee progress for a set of small research fellowships. The program is focused on growing the number of researchers who actively use criminal justice statistical data produced by BJS. By expanding that user community, BJS aims to generate research that can inform strategies to prevent and control crime and support the fair and impartial administration of criminal justice across the United States.
The fellowships envisioned under this program are designed to be small-scale and fast-turnaround. Each fellowship project is expected to be feasible to complete within about six months, which signals an emphasis on applied, data-driven work that can be executed using existing BJS datasets and resources rather than multi-year fieldwork or large data collection efforts. The intention is to encourage focused analyses that produce concrete results, such as new descriptive findings, improved understanding of trends, methodological insights, or policy-relevant interpretations grounded in BJS statistical products.
Eligibility is summarized in the announcement as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in an eligibility text field, but the solicitation description makes clear that the target applicant type is a professional or scholarly society capable of administering the fellowship program. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as capacity-building for the criminal justice statistics research ecosystem: BJS provides up to $200,000 to one administering organization, and that organization uses the funds to run a faculty fellowship program that catalyzes multiple short, BJS-data-based research projects, ultimately increasing the breadth and impact of research drawn from BJS-generated statistical information.Apply for BJS 2017 11501
